Post-WisCon friending
There are sooo many folks I met or re-connected with at WisCon, and so few user ids to go with them! If you've friended me post-WisCon, please let me know who you are so I can connect the user id with the person in my mind.
Thanks!

Anyone going to Diversicon?
I'm thinking about going to Diversicon in the Twin Cities at the end of July and am wondering if anyone else is going. Also, if you've gone before, I would love to hear what you think about it.
Thanks.

Why are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? panel report
Why are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?
Let's have a round-table discussion of this book by Beverly Daniel Tatum, Ph.D. First published in 1997, with additional material in 1999 and 2003, it still has a lot to say about racial identification and development of same. How does it speak to the discussions happening in WisCon and ( Read more... ) -
Facing Race Conference in Chicago
Has anyone attended the Facing Race Conference before? I'm interested in finding out more about it so I can determine if it's something I should attend.
There's a registration discount of $100 if you register by June 15, so if I go, I would like to register in time to get the discount. There's also discounts for groups of 3 or more.

WisCon report, Monday
Monday
We were all pretty exhausted but somehow managed to get up at a reasonable hour. We got ready, ate breakfast, packed up, checked out, and loaded everything into the car, all before our first panel of the day, Religion and Science: Can’t We all Just Get Along? I thought it was a good panel and heard from some people I’d not ever known before. ( Read more... ) -
WisCon report, Sunday
Sunday
Ilda had to leave and go back to her real life, so we wished her an early farewell and then got ready for serious eating. The plan was to go to brunch at the Orpheum with a large group of people at 10am. The reality turned out that Sondra, Mary Ann, and I were sitting at a table for 10 while everyone else was in the hotel lobby deciding to go ( Read more... ) -
WisCon report, Saturday
Saturday
I woke up early and went for a swim. I think a swim is one of the best ways to start the day. Lucy, one of the lovely people I spoke to while waiting in line for Tarot, was also swimming. We discussed the finer points of the farmers’ market and thrift shopping in between laps and soaking in the whirlpool. I then went back to the room, and ( Read more... ) -
WisCon report, Friday
I got up early and very quietly snuck out of the room to go help set up for the Gathering. It was both sad and deliriously wonderful when someone would ask me what to do and I deferred to mystickeeper since I am officially retired and she is now in charge. I’m glad I help set up, though, especially since it meant getting first crack at viewing everything.

WisCon report, Thursday
I am posting in LJ instead of DW because I know there are lots of folks who haven't migrated over and I would like to keep all comments in one place. Hopefully, but next year, everything will be on DW.
I am going to have to write up my report in pieces, otherwise, I’ll never get caught up enough to get it out there!
Thursday
I left later than I ( Read more... )
